The sessions:

Mart de Graaf - Azure Web Application Firewall in ACTION!
In this session we dive into the practical implementation and management of the Web Application Firewall (WAF) from Azure within both Azure Application Gateway and Azure Front Door. We will see live how the WAF blocks requests and learn how to find these events in Azure Log Analytics. We'll cover WAF policy configuration, explore threat protection mechanisms, and discuss best practices for optimizing web application security.

Eduard Keilholz - Glueing .NET Aspire Services with Container Apps and Dapr
Bringing multiple .NET Aspire services to production can be challenging, especially when scaling, handling communication, and ensuring resilience between services. In this session, we'll explore how Azure Container Apps, coupled with its built-in Dapr integration, can simplify this process and elevate your microservices architecture.

Attendees will learn how to containerize .NET Aspire services and deploy them to Azure Container Apps for a seamless, managed, and scalable environment. We'll cover essential Dapr components like service invocation, pub/sub, and state management, showcasing how they can enhance communication and reliability without adding complex code. By the end of this session, you'll have a roadmap for using Azure Container Apps and Dapr to streamline the deployment and operation of .NET Aspire services in production. This is a must-attend for developers and architects looking to simplify their service landscape with modern, cloud-native solutions on Azure.

Key Takeaways:
- How to containerize .NET Aspire services for deployment on Azure Container Apps.
- Leveraging Dapr's capabilities within Azure Container Apps for service-to-service communication and resilience.
- Practical tips and patterns to bring your services to production with scalability and simplicity.

Mike Martin – 1,2,3 … testing : is this thing on(line)? Meet your new Microsoft Testing tools

Does your environment work as you intended: do your users see what you want them to see? Does your app buckle under pressure, or even worse, fail when certain components falter (or fail altogether)?

In the past, people used Azure DevOps Load Testing and related services. But we all know that some of these services have now been deprecated.

In this session you will be taken through all the options you have today, outlining the testing capabilities within the Microsoft development universe.

We will take a walk through the different options for all aspects of testing within the Microsoft DevOps and Azure world. You will learn which services you use to improve the reliability, performance, usability and resilience of the applications you build.

Note: includes Chaos Studio, Playwright, Azure Load Testing and much more.
